Maximus is a wonderful water based lube that makes play with any toy material more fun. I really tend to buy water based lube most of the time because it can be used on my glass, UR3, plastic, and silicone toys without causing any problems. I had to try this one because it has so many great reviews and I am very glad that I finally did!

Maximus lube feels a little like watered down hair gel. Because it is closer to a gel-like consistency, it does not slide off your toy before you get the chance to even it out. With my previous favorite lube I found myself playing the "let me rub this in before it gets every where" game because it was more watery. The consistency of this lube makes things feel more slippery, which I like a lot. Having the right lube can make or break the experience sometimes, and I haven't had a bad experience with this one. A pump or two of this one can go a long way and doesn't usually need to be reapplied unless I go back and forth with a couple toys.

I do not notice a smell when I use this one. However, it does have a slightly bitter taste so I would not recommend it for use when things might end up in your mouth. Maximus is glycerin and L- Argenine free so it should not cause yeast infections in those who are prone to them. Even though I haven't had an issue in the past with different lubes, I try to avoid ones with glycerin just in case. It is NOT paraben free so those who have reactions to parabens should stay away from this one.

It comes in a 8.25 oz bottle with a pump that makes it easy to apply directly to your toys or to put on your fingers and have fun making things slippery. The ability to apply this directly to my toys without having to squeeze a big blob in my hand makes me happy. I like this type of dispenser more than flip top bottles because I find that I make a lot less mess. I have yet to over-pump this one and have it get on my sheets or any other places I might not want it.

This may be my personal experience, but I find that this lube helps me cut down on my warm up time. I'll admit, sometimes I get a little too excited to try a new toy and want to go charging at it, so I will skip some of my warm up. With my last favorite lube, this didn't always work out for the best, but with Maximus things slide in nicely. In regards to anal, Maximus is great! I have used it with different toys and have not had any issues with insertion.
I am happy that I added this lube to my collection because it has provided me with smoother and more fun toy experiences. Although I have not tested it out for partner sex, I assume it would work well for this as well.

At the moment this one is still my favorite lube! It works well for every use that I have put it up to and the bottle has lasted for a good amount of time (there is still some in the one I used for this review). I had a few moments where using this for anal caused slight burning (I am guessing from the parabens) but nothing that lasted more than 30 seconds. I recommend this to anyone looking for a great, long lasting lube who doesn't have reactions to parabens.
